Acts 22:25-29
25But when they stretched him out ▼▼ Or for the whip
with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it ▼▼ Interrogation by torture was a procedure used with slaves
lawful for you to scourge ca man who is a Roman and uncondemned?” 26When the centurion heard this, he went to the ▼▼ V 24, note 1
commander and told him, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman.” 27The ▼▼ V 24, note 1
commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he said, “Yes.” 28The ▼▼ V 24, note 1
commander answered, “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money.” And Paul said, “But I was actually born a citizen.” 29Therefore those who were about to gexamine him immediately ▼▼ Lit withdrew from
let go of him; and the ▼▼ V 24, note 1
commander also jwas afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had ▼▼ Lit bound him
,
lput him in chains.
